Yes, because I said my experiences were indicative of the average.

More than anything, I wish that I could somehow organize ALL women to not groom beyond average men's grooming standards for two entire months (NO makeup, no hair product, no hair arranging, no shaving, no special facewash, no wearing any clothing that needs extra care, no heeled shoes). Then maybe everyone who has an…

"The boys are carbon copies of their dads in (mostly neat) jeans and sneakers; the girls, while still dressed for play, are a notch up in terms of style: They're in little poplin frocks with mint-green bicycle prints and matching bloomers; they wear soft gray dresses and citron leggings and Mary Janes. With very…

A couple of years ago I decided to groom like a man. ( Ie unless my dudes did it every day I wouldn't make a huge effort to do it.) I gave up Shaving/waxing/plucking ( I still beach my moustache every couple of weeks because I have a thing about it, and because I figured it could be equivalent to beard shaving.) I…

I agree. The thing I dislike about articles like these is that they talk about womens' experiences as if they were universal. I brush my teeth, comb my hair, throw on clothing that doesn't need to be ironed, and I'm out the door. It doesn't take me any longer to get ready than it does my husband - longer for him,…

I have a very blingy ring simply because I love things that sparkle! ( I have 2.7carat centre stone with 44 little diamonds around and down the sides)...BUT...my centre stone is an enhanced moissanite (not diamond). I wanted a big bling style without the big bling price tag...because I would much rather buy a house…

I felt the same way, but my boyfriend really wanted to get me a ring, so we ended up getting that shit designed by a jeweler. This is the ring I ended up with, which is both SO MUCH PRETTIER and SO MUCH CHEAPER than a real engagement ring.

But it just bugs me, because we already pay more than enough taxes toward actual social services.

Looks like Notorious RBG has some competition. Or they should join forces and become an unstoppable duo traveling the country solving crimes and putting on the snark. The Notorious RBG feat. Mad Dr. All.

"the very culture of rowdy, adolescent, and sometimes misogynist male behavior that he celebrates discourages women from contributing to computer science."

I think a lot of men are definitely delusional about their own weight. I always notice this on dating sites. Like you know, where you have to classify your body type and I always have to pick something creepy sounding like "full figured" or "voluptuous"? And heavier guys are always picking "average" or sometimes even…

Do y'all ever feel like there's this extra-special type of hatred for fat women that only a fat man can pull off? I'm not sure if it's my perception or reality but I feel like there's a certain type of fat man who takes his insecurity about his weight out on fat women. Like, "Yeah, I may be fat, but at least I'm not…

I will forever treasure Preserve's prose due to the glory that was "backyard-cum-feasting-hall."

Oh myyyy. *fans herself* Is there anyone else getting hot and, ummmm, appreciative at the sight of that soccer player with the manly arms and the sweaty chest carrying that dog so gently? There's something about a man who is good to animals that just makes me weak in the knees, especially if he's tall dark, European…

I am beyond sick and tired of hearing SAHMs complain about their long resume of "chef, maid, chauffeur and bookkeeper all rolled into one!"

I am thankful that I have the option of wearing my pajamas until noon. I am thankful that I don't have to answer to some sleazy boss who tries to look down my blouse. I am thankful that I dont have to rush home after a long day at work to thaw Stouffer's lasagna. I am thankful that I was the one to clean the baby…

Meh - I avoid 95% percent of the Mommy Wars shit just by not visiting Mommy Blogs. Girlfriend venting is one thing - but blogs have unleashed a whole new concept of sharing. Everyone now feels the need to share (and monetize!) their contempt of their chosen lot in life by virtue of online diaries.

Carrie was neither a whore nor a strong, smart woman. She was, however, a huge asshole.

I had started very late on SATC. Like this year. I watched the movies and felt entertained but…… I hate Mr. Big. I hate how he makes Carrie act. How whenever he's on screen she turns into a cartoon of a woman hell bent on getting her man. They aren't good together. He COULDN'T MARRY HER properly. Like I don't know how…

That engagement chicken is literally the most anemic chicken recipe I have ever seen (need more spices).
